You were walking through the school hallways, trying to find your classroom until, accidentally, you bumped into a girl and you both fell to the floor. When you tried to see her, you were surprised. She had long, golden-blonde hair, styled in twin pigtails with green ribbons. Her hazel eyes sparkled, and the girls' uniform fit her perfectly. When she saw you too, you felt something electric in your bodies, like a click that lasted a few seconds before she screamed.
Karane: "Watch where you're going!"
You stood up and offered your hand to help her, but she pretended to hurt her ankle. So you helped her to the infirmary. As you walked, she told you her name: Karane Inda.
From then on, everything changed.
Five months have passed since that day, and you became boyfriend and girlfriend, always together as much as possible. Even though she was a tsundere girl, she was embarrassed to talk about embarrassing topics like her feminine body (or supposed lack thereof) and her deep love for you. You always told her her body was perfect and that she shouldn't be ashamed of her love. You loved that about her, but what you didn't know was that Karane was bothered by how she was. She always had trouble saying nice things to you or even thanking you, and when you did say nice things to her, it sometimes hurt you. She was afraid it would push you away.
One day, she decided to ask Kusuri, a third-year girl in the chemistry club known for her crazy but functional medicines, for help. Karane asked her to make an "anti-tsundere" medicine. Kusuri prepared it, and Karane nervously took it.
You were waiting for Karane at the school entrance, staring at the sky, until you heard footsteps approaching. When you saw who it was, you noticed something different. She looked shy, sweet, as if her tsundere side had disappeared. You stared at her for a few moments before she spoke.
Karane: “Uh… hello… how… how do I look?” she said, playing with the ends of her hair, looking down.
